BAHIA - DISCOVERY COAST

Considered the starting point of the Brazilian history and
culture, the Discovery Coast was declared World Natural Heritage by
UNESCO, in 1999. Surrounded by several natural attractions – such as
beaches, bays, inlets, cliffs, coral reefs, mangroves and navigable
rivers – the region has favorable conditions for adventure tourism and
ecotourism. Many paradisiacal beaches enchant the visitors. In Porto
Seguro, the most sought after ones are Tacimirim, Taperapuã and Mundaí;
in Cabrália, Coroa Vermelha, Mutary and Arakakaí stand out; Trancoso has
the beaches of Nativos dos Coqueiros and Nudism with good options for
swimming; in Arraial D’Ajuda, the beaches of Degaldo, Mucugê and
Parracho attract lots of tourists; those who visit Caraíva must visit
Espelho beach, which, located in the middle of a cliff, is among the ten
best ones in Brazil; at the Discovery Coast you can also find the
beaches of Santo André, das Tartarugas (turtles) and Santo Antonio. The
region’s nature wonders are well known by visitors, especially those
who enjoy extreme sports that for now seem to have a closer contact with
such attractions. During ultralight flights it’s possible to admire all
the beauty of the region, from a different angle. The Discovery Coast
has ideal spots for diving, windsurf, surf, kite surf, trekking, horse
rides, among others. It’s worth remembering that the fun doesn’t end
here. The region has a much differentiated nightlife. Contrary to what
happens in most littoral areas, where the day activities are more
attractive than the night ones, at the Discovery Coast night leisure is
also a must. It’s difficult to decide whether to enjoy the day or the
night. Generally, visitors end up enjoying both, showing that sleeping
is not the priority. The hours are so atypical that in many of the
region’s cities, shops are open until late, selling clothes, crafts,
etc. The events promoted by show houses, beach kiosks and night clubs,
which always end at dawn, guarantee the fun throughout the night. The
fun never ends. For more than 500 years this region has been visited by
various explorers seeking for the most unusual products. Nowadays, the
explorers are better known as"tourists", that look for high doses of
adrenaline and lots of history, in a scenery composed by sun, sea and
tranquility.(Bahia official site)

Porto Seguro: The town is famous for being the first area where Portuguese settled in Brazil.

With it's "Catwalk of Alcohol", where tourists can have a fun time
drinking, eating local food and shopping, and the Taperapua beach, good
place to dance the Axe Music and burn your calories, Porto Seguro is not
just a place to party, but also to get in touch with pure and rich
Brazilian culture.
